I use a 64 key Genovation Keypad via serial and not via the P3, That way the P3 can have a keyboard plugged into it. At one time I saw where somone had used a raspberry Pi to make a interface to go between two keyboarddevices and the P3 but I haven't found it again (that seems the best way to do it)

An example of what can be done would be the "Offset +" macro-- I press a single button on the Genovation keypad, and the Radio drops into split, the P3 shifts the CW signal to the left side of the display, while setting the bandwidth for the P3 to 6 KHz., to show the top part of the pile up, and then sets the K3 bandwidth to whatever I have set in the macro, all with a single button press. I currently have 32 macros programmed up, some for power level setting, switching VFOs, triggering the K3 memories in CW or Voice, setting K3 bandwidths, contest exchanges, IDs, etc. There is a spread sheet of macros you can download for use within the Genovation setup at that URL as well. I seldom even touch the K3 now, but to tune, or turn it on, or off. Most of my K3/P3 operations comes from the Genovation keypad. 73s and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net Award Manager, 30MDG Grid Awards ARRL Technical Specialist ARRL Volunteer Examiner ARRL OOC for Oregon On 2/15/19 6:53 PM, Bob Gibson via Elecraft wrote: > I'm looking for the recommend keyboard to plug into the back of the P3 that > works!
